Explore tab

The Explore tab is where you browse your school's content. Everything is organised by tags, with featured items at the top and filters to help you find what you need.

Where to find it

Explore is the second tab in the bottom navigation bar. Tap it to see all published content for your school, grouped by tags.

When you first open Explore, you see a landing page with three sections: featured articles, featured terms, and recent articles. Scroll down to see content grouped by tag.

Featured content

School leaders can pin articles and terms to make them stand out. Pinned items appear at the top of the Explore landing page.

• Featured articles — Large image cards with a dark gradient overlay and the title at the bottom. These are the articles your school wants everyone to see first.
• Featured terms — Full-width cards with an accent border, the term title, pronunciation, and a short definition. These highlight key vocabulary.
• Pick up where you left off — If you've started reading any articles and haven't finished, they appear here as image cards. A thin progress bar across the bottom shows how far you've read. This section sits above the Recent list.
• Articles — Recent articles shown as a tidy vertical list with thumbnails and timestamps. Items you're already partway through don't repeat here — they show in the Pick up section above.

Browse modes

Just below the heading is a row of pills — All, Unread, Favourites, Continue reading. Tap one to focus the list. Tap the same pill a second time to revert to All.

The book menu

The book icon in the top-right opens a menu for choosing what you're looking at:

• Content types — Articles, Terms, Videos, or Audio. Tapping one opens that type's dedicated landing screen; tapping the type you're already viewing takes you back to the main Explore landing. Videos and Audio rows stay hidden for non-leaders until your school has at least one of each.
• Sort — Recently added, Alphabetical, or Recommended (your school's default).

To browse by tag, use the tag cards at the top of each landing rather than this menu — see below.

Browse by tag

Open a content type — say Articles — and on the All view the landing leads with a row of tag cards, each showing the tag's cover image, before any individual items. If a tag has no cover of its own, it borrows the image from the newest item filed under it. Only tags that hold items of the type you're viewing appear, so you never tap into an empty list. Tap a card to open that tag's own page.

Below the tag cards, Articles show the three most relevant — unread first — with a See all link to the full list; Terms show their tag cards. If your school hasn't added a type yet, you'll see a card like "No audio yet" — school leaders can tap it to start adding.

Long-press a tag card for quick actions without leaving the screen:

• Browse — open the tag's own page (the same as a tap).
• Favourite — save the tag to your Favourites, or remove it.
• Edit tag and Delete tag — school leaders only, to rename, restyle, or remove the tag.

Filter chips

Tags you've added as filters appear as removable chips just below the heading. Each chip shows the tag's cover image (if set) so you can spot it at a glance. Tap the chip to remove it. Long-press a chip to open the tag's preview menu (with quick actions like Browse and Favourite).

The applied chip row is hidden when no filters are active. Use Clear all at the end of the row to reset.

To add a tag as a filter, long-press any tag pill on a content card or in a tag group and choose Filter by this tag. (The tag cards at the top of a landing don't filter — a tap opens that tag's page instead.)

Tag views

Content within each tag can appear in different layouts. Your school leader chooses the default view for each tag:

• Cards — Image cards with title and a short preview.
• List — Compact rows, good for long lists of terms.
• Grid — A tighter grid of thumbnails.

The layout is set per tag by your school leader. You will see the view they chose.

Add new content from Explore

If you can publish in your school, the top-right of the Explore header has a + button. Tap it to create something new without leaving the screen:

• Article — opens the editor on a fresh draft.
• Term — opens the term editor for a glossary entry.
• Video or Audio — opens a media editor and the file picker straight away, since the recording is the content.
• Tag — name a new top-level tag to organise content under.
• From template — pick a system or saved template to start from.
• Import file — bring in a Word doc, PDF, web page, or text file. See Import a document.

The same + button on a tag's landing screen creates the new item already filed under that tag, plus a Sub-tag option for nesting tags inside it.

Pull to refresh

Pull down from the top of the Explore screen to check for new content. If your school leader has published something while you were browsing, a snackbar will appear at the bottom of the screen letting you know new content is available.
